Leaving the burial ditch, they returned along the mountain road, and it seemed that the way back was much closer, and after walking for a short time, they already saw the place where they had left.

Gao Chao told everyone that he and Xia Qing had already marked the cave field, and the big cave had been set, as long as they were excavated there, the entrance might be located below.

Coming to the cave field and finding the marks they had made before, Gao Chao and the others began to dig in the ground with the tools they were carrying.

The soil here is quite soft, and it is not difficult to dig, and it took about an hour to dig more than a meter deep.

The fat man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at Gao Chao and said, "Old Gao, is this looking for an entrance or digging a grave, are you really sure that this is where the entrance is located?" ”

Gao Chao was also a little helpless, how could he be sure, all he could be sure of was that this was a big cave, but according to his thoughts, such a treasure of the dragon's lair, the entrance to the next layer should be placed here.

As a result, it was now more than a meter deep, and nothing was seen, and even Hua Ye and Wang Lianba were a little suspicious.

Seeing that Gao Chao did not make a sound, the fat man poked the dagger used to dig the soil at the bottom of the pit, wanting to rest for a while and vent his dissatisfaction again.

However, his dagger poked downward, and it was obvious that the tip of the knife was not touching the wrong thing, as if it had been poked into something hard.

So the fat man said casually: "My grass, it's bad, poked into the stone, this pit is in the end, right?" ”

Gao Chao became alert and quickly thrust down with his long knife, resulting in a hollow sound, as if there was a hollow place underneath.

"Is it the top plate of the entrance?" Gao Chao suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone was excited, it seemed that the superb judgment was really good, and the entrance was really here.

Then everyone worked together and was motivated again, digging out the last layer of loose soil of more than ten centimeters, and saw a layer of blue-gray stone bricks.

Xia Qing went down to the pit, gently removed the slag on the stone bricks with his hands, and then carefully observed before turning back and saying to everyone: "You see, this stone bricks are all paved vertically, and they are also built in the form of vaults, I don't look at the place like an entrance, but like a ......."

She suddenly felt a little helpless: "It's like the top of an ancient tomb." ”

"Tomb top?" Gao Chao exclaimed: "Could it really be a tomb here?" ”

Xia Qing nodded: "Qin brick Han tile, the size and material of this green brick are very revealing, it seems that this is really a Qin tomb." ”

"But ......" Gao Chao wondered, "But this is originally the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, how can there be a tomb within a tomb?" And what's the point? ”

The fat man also said: "Yes, could it be that Qin Shi Huang buried himself in this layer?" This will save a lot of trouble, and let's go down again. ”

Xia Qing shook his head: "It's definitely not where Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is, this tomb may be his cronies, or it may have some purpose, in short, this should be an ancient tomb." ”

Hua Ye saw that everyone was puzzled, so he said: "Whether it is an ancient tomb or not, now we have to open it to see, there may be clues about the entrance inside, which is also rare for us." ”

Wang Lianba also echoed and said: "I agree with Hua Ye's idea, this ancient tomb is very special here, and there must be clues we need, even if this is not the entrance, we have to go down." ”

The fat man glanced at Wang Lianba, and couldn't help but squeeze him: "I said Eighth Master, I have long heard that you are a corpse toucher, what's the matter?" Do you see the brick wall of the ancient tomb and you are itchy, come on, this first place under the tomb will be left to you. ”

Wang Lianba was exposed, but his face did not change, and he smiled: "Comrade Zhao Xu, don't say it, I'm really a little itchy, since that's the case, I won't shirk it, you get out of the way, see me open the skylight first." ”

I didn't expect the fat man to be like this, Wang Lianba really planned it, everyone got out of the way, he walked to the exposed green bricks, squatted down and touched it with his hands, and then groped around like looking for acupuncture points, everyone looked at it, and they didn't know what he was doing.

The fat man was impatient, and couldn't help asking: "I said Eighth Master, your technique is good, this is to do great health care for the top of the tomb, or don't come to the bricks on the top of the tomb, you do big health care for my back, open an oil or something, I'm tired these days." ”

Wang Lianba ignored the fat man, or touched along the brick crack with his fingers, suddenly he stopped his hand, and then touched it back and forth, which seemed to nod confidently, and then looked back at everyone and said: "Although the Qin brick Han tile is strong and beautiful, but when it is built, there will be a gap in the life gate, this life gate is like a dead hole in life, as long as it is found, just such an inch, I will let it lose all over the plate, you quickly retreat, all stand on the edge of the pit, fast." ”

Seeing Wang Lianba's serious appearance, no one dared not listen to him, and they all hurriedly retreated to the edge of the pit, and could only watch Wang Lianba squatting in the center of the pit.

Then he put the tip of the dagger in his hand downwards and poked it at the top of one of the Qin bricks, as if he was using his dagger as a chisel, and then spread out his other hand and raised it above his head, and suddenly shouted "Open", his palm fell sharply, and one palm was lined up on the handle of the dagger.

only heard a crisp sound of "click", and then Wang Lianba quickly got up, and also retreated to the position on the edge of the pit, and quietly observed the changes on the top of the tomb.

At first, there was nothing, and it was quiet all around, but suddenly, "click", there was a sound from the top of the tomb, and in the eyes of everyone, the top of the tomb suddenly fell apart, and the gaps between all the Qin bricks somehow suddenly became larger, and then the first piece, that is, the Qin brick that was poked by Wang Lianba with a dagger, actually sank down and fell directly.

This is like the beginning of a chain reaction, just like the first domino was knocked down, and then the surrounding Qin bricks seemed to have lost their condensation force, and all the pieces fell down, and at the same time, there was a sound of rubble under the top of the tomb, and in a blink of an eye, the entire tomb roof had fallen out of a circular hole more than one meter square.

At this point, the Qin bricks on the top of those tombs were stable again, only the hole in the center was dark, and the surroundings became quiet as before.

"It's a good craft." Suddenly, Hua Ye was the first to applaud and gave a not low evaluation.

Gao Chao and the fat man also looked at Wang Lianba and cast admiring glances, Xia Qing also stroked his palms and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a simple way, I also opened my eyes today." ”

Wang Lianba slapped his face twice, slapped the dust off his hands, and then waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a folk carving insect skill, it's really nothing." ”

Although Wang Lianba said that it is nothing, but Gao Chao knows that this craft is by no means simple, in the face of the tomb of the pre-Qin Dynasty, how many people can find the location of the door with one hand, and then only one palm can slap it open?

He suddenly remembered that there was a legend that there was a craft called "patting graves" among corpse touchers, is that what it is? It is said that because of this craft, the sect of tomb robbers is also called the tomb patter, or the patter, but it has long been lost, is this Wang Lianba the heir of the grave patter?

Gao Chao was cranky, but Wang Lianba had already walked to the dark hole first, and shone it with a diving lamp. (To be continued.) )
